Redhead lies between Newcastle and Swansea on the New South Wales mid-north coast, with two reef sites accessible by shore or boat. Redhead Point suits beginners with moderate depths, while Redhead Beach reaches down to twenty metres and is rated for intermediate divers. Shore entry at the beach demands care owing to breaking waves, surge, and rip currents typical of an exposed surf beach. Species recorded include grey nurse sharks, giant cuttlefish, spotted wobbegong, nudibranchs, common stingray, and mourning cuttlefish.
